Just as the single-chip dial-up modem has become a standard fixture on nearly every PC and laptop, so eventually will Legerity’s Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) chips make integrated Internet phones standard on PCs and laptops. The Le98136 interfaces with Intel’s HD Audio bus and provides a way to implement a “soft ATA” on a PC motherboard. With it, users can plug a standard analog phone into the RJ-11 modular jack on the back of the PC to implement a full-blown VoIP phone...

The HSpice circuit simulator has been the golden simulation sign-off standard for the past 25 years. The newest version performs faster by focusing on the accuracy and capabilities required to meet today’s design challenges. This webcast is a must-see for engineers using Spice for analog, digital, or high-frequency IC, board, or package designs. Register today!
The IEEE 802.11n standard for the next level of Wi-Fi performance hasn’t been ratified yet. But companies already are shipping “draft specification” chips to customers who are anxious to get high-speed multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) wireless routers, gateways, and access points to customers...
Voice Processing Technology Targets High-End Hands-Free Communication
Zarlink Semiconductor is sampling a single-chip voice processing technology targeted at hands-free communication systems, including high-end car kits and speakerphones. The voice processor is a flexible and programmable platform integrating dual-channel codecs with 16-bit sampling, audio-quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and increased MIPS capacity...
Tiny OLED Offers Outstanding Viewing Characteristics
With just a 0.66-in. diagonal, the latest organic LED (OLED) from One Stop Displays is one of the smallest displays on the market. The OSD64480ALBAT01 measures only 21.00 mm wide by 18.4 mm high by 2.20 mm deep. Its tiny size makes it a fit for designs with minimal space, including Bluetooth, MP3, and other tightly packaged embedded devices...
By Keith Curtis
Although Embedded Multitasking With Small Microcontrollers is not an exhaustive treatise on multitasking operating systems, it does a good job on the two areas it does address: state machines and basic multitasking. Curtis wanted to create a fundamental framework that readers could utilize in embedded projects that needed a basic operating system but did not require a more powerful commercial or open-source operating system. The accompanying CD includes sample C source code that is presented in the book...
